Please check following tips:

1.Check if you have permissions for theses files.

2.Check whether files are checked-out by another user.

3.Clear browser cache then try to open files again.

4.If you have OneDrive sync running in your PC, try to disable sync and check whether the issue is resolved.

5.Go to site collection features to deactivate "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" feature.
